I sure do. I sense that you are a bit more ahead of me. I am almost certain that google would not have controlled it. When I originally did this, I did NOT have a thread-capable nest hub. Since that time, I have added a gen2 hub which has thread. I have since reset the bulb and added to the new nest hub and shared with Alexa (also worked without any problem that I could recognize). I have since reset the bulb several other times. Will do, but it will be a week. Heading to Utah for some skiing.

Yes. I shared it from the Alexa to the google home app. I do not recall any errors. I do not recall any mention of a thread network, but this may be my failure to recall. When I originally added it to Alexa, I did not, and still do not, have the nano leaf app. Perhaps that is a variable I should play around with.

I have the echo hub and have successfully added the nanoleaf bulb as well to alexa. I could also share it with a google nest and control the bulb from either device. I have also originally added the nanoleaf to the google hub and shared it with the alexa devices. In all the various combinations I have tried, the nanoleaf would loose connection eventually, sometime reconnecting, sometimes not.

Another factor that can affect performance is a change in your electronic situation around the house. If yours is like mine, you have prolifically added/modified/moved (new appliances, computers, gadgets) to your house. All this can affect the quality of the electric power and the performance of Insteon. I have also suspected that, as Insteon devices age, the memory can become less reliable and links can become corrupted. Unfortunately, you have already tried the steps (restore) that would usually remedy this problem, at least temporarily.

For a standard (matter) that purports to be universal, why would there be? Why would there need to be? There was not setup or configuration information regarding "works with Alexa" or "works with google", either. Are they going to prove the comic to be prescient?
-
Yes. Agreed. I even tried a few variations. I reset the nano leaf bulb and tried adding directly to UD Mobile (android). No luck. I reset the bulb, moved it closer to the nest hub (gen 2) and added back to google home. I then shared the bulb from the google home app (android tablet) to UD Mobile (also android). No luck. I have tried variations of this using iOS devices with similar lack of success.

There is a Lutron caseta plug-in for polyglot. I think it requires the caseta hub. It works fine at my house. My caseta test switch shows up in my Polisy and it responds to scene commands. I am not sure whether the caseta switch can behave as a scene controller, but it is certainly worth experimenting around. If you find the caseta switches works at your house, adding them to your EISY is worth doing, in my estimation.

Well...just tried adding a couple of matter devices. One is a Cync bulb and wifi. The other is a nonoleaf bulb and thread. Both were prior added to google home and shared with apple (but not yet amazon). I now shared both via a qr code from google home. Both appeared to add (certainly got no errors). The thread device is taking a relative long time and is adding as I type this. Edit: and I come back after 5 hours of "adding" the thread device and find that it has not added and is stuck on the screen saying "adding matter device". The matter wifi device added fine. I may try some different approaches soon.

OK. I will assume that the upgrade took hold and will try some matter devices soon.

I just tried "upgrade packages" on mine (Polisy, wired). Formerly 5.9.1. No change after upgrade. Still shows 5.9.1 I am inclined not to ssh for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that I am more comfortable (less perceived risk) in using the official method and waiting for an official announcement.

I think Guy Lavoie gets the prize! The only thing that would cause the keypad button to come on (besides directly pressing it) is when the hutch scene is turned on. No other scenes will cause it to come on and no other devices will cause it to come on.
-
I am certainly in that boat as well. I have most of what I want and don't need matter to add anything that is missing. I would just prefer local control for my voice assistants (at least when I am using the touch screens of the assistants) and access to a couple of items on google and Alexa that don't integrate with ISY. Regardless, my system is quite useful.
-
That is a little disappointing. I assume that matter devices added to ISY can be shared with other hubs through the portal, at least. Ultimately, I was (am) hoping that the ISY will become a matter "bridge", where it would expose all linked devices (matter or otherwise) to other hubs via the matter standard or be able to incorporate devices shared by other hubs via the matter standard. I have the same hope that the Echos and Nest hubs also become matter bridges. I assume that the _13 version will soon be published. I will wait. I don't do enough of the ssh stuff to be fluent. I have to look up how to do this each time.
-
Once added to the ISY, can one share a matter device to google or Alexa or apple home? I have not seen this instruction. Is this unique to the new (quietly released) software version?

I hope you are correct. It is statement like below that gives me concern:
